macvlan: Don't propagate IFF_ALLMULTI changes on down interfaces.
Clearing the IFF_ALLMULTI flag on a down interface could cause an allmulti overflow on the underlying interface. Attempting the set IFF_ALLMULTI on the underlying interface would cause an error and the log message: "allmulti touches root, set allmulti failed."
